Battle Royale: Prologue
This fic is a crossover of the Japanese movie Battle Royale (BR) and Flame of Recca. I had just finished watching the pirated VCD when I thought, What would happen if Hokage played that game. So I created this story with a whole load of my own created characters. Anyway, to understand this story, u've gotta noe wat BR is about, and I dun tink many of you have watched it as it was rated R-15 in Japan and R(A) in Singapore, due to violence and bloody scenes, although a DVD is out in Japan now. Personally, I think that this show should just be rated PG, but my friend says that though only 13, I have the mentality of a 16, 17 year old, thus I find the show alright. Btw, this is a great show, which I really recommend. It's not just violence, but it has an inner meaning in the friendship and relation in between students.
Summary of Battle Royale: Japan at the dawn of a new millennium: unemployment stands at 15% with millions out of work. School violence is out of control and rebellious teenagers stage mass boycotts. The beleaguered government retaliates with Battle Royale.... Each year a randomly chosen class is pitted against itself on an abandoned island in a cruel game of survival. It lasts three days; everyone gets food, water and a weapon. ONLY ONE MAY SURVIVE.
Note: this takes place after FOR has ended and Fuuko, Recca, Yanagi and Domon are in their final year in high school. And I changed the original BR a bit. Originally, a secondary 3 class is chosen randomly, but here I changed it to any high school class.

The high school third year students chatted happily and noisily on the school bus as it drove along the highway. Among them was Kirisawa Fuuko, looking forward and eager towards their graduation trip.
Fuuko could hardly believe it. She was finally going on the much awaited graduation trip, together with her closest friends, Sakoshita Yanagi, Hanabishi Recca, and Ishijima Domon. At the start of their third year in high school, all four of them had been streamed into the same class based on their results and now, at the end of the school year, they were going on the trip together. If only Mi-chan was here, thought Fuuko as she sighed. Not to everyone's surprise, Mikagami had topped the whole nation in his exams the year before, and and was now studying an advanced course in law in the Tokyo University.
"Hey Fuuko! Come and take a picture!" Recca yelled at her while waving a Polaroid camera a few seats away from her. Beside him was Yanagi, smiling demurely as she motioned for Fuuko to join them. Fuuko smiled and walked over, with Domon following behind. Flinging the camera to a nearby classmate, Recca joined his friends, who all posed like monkeys, with Yanagi as an exception. Recca then snatched back his camera and the picture, refusing to let anyone else have it.
The bus ride carried on into the night. One by one, the students slowly drifted off to sleep.

"Fuuko, Fuuko, wake up," Yanagi's voice was heard. Fuuko drearily opened her eyes, "Have we reached yet?"
Yanagi shook her head nervously, "Look around; I don't know where we are."
Still in a dreamy state, Fuuko had not noticed the place they were in until she heard Yanagi's words and shook herself awake. All her classmates were sprawled on the floor of what looked like a dark classroom, except that there was only one teacher's desk and two normal desks at the far ends of the classroom, with the silhouette of a teenage boy and girl on each desk respectively. All around her, her classmates were stirring and asking, "Where are we?"
Suddenly, the lights came on and in walked their form teacher, Minamoto- Sensei, followed by a large group of soldiers armed with rifles. Sitting down at the teacher's desk, he spoke to the class, "Please sit down." The bewildered class did not move.
"Sit!" the soldiers stepped out and yelled at the confused yet frightened students, who hurriedly sat down on the floor.
Minamoto smiled slyly, "I know all of you are puzzled upon seeing me, so let me start things up." He pointed at the two students wearing different uniforms sitting on the desks, "Fuyukawa Miyuki and Aizawa Koichi, two transfer students. Now to get on to today's lesson. I know you all hate me and were happy I wasn't coming, however, we have something else for u."
Saying so, he strode up to the blackboard and wrote the words 'BR' before turning to ask the class, "Do you know what is the BR act?" Some of the students' faces turned pale on hearing his words while others looked stumped.
Minamoto sighed, "Nevermind. Now we'll watch the video and you'll know." A soldier moved forward and turned on the TV where an extra hot girl in her early twenties appeared on the screen wearing a cute and sexy guerilla uniform.
"Congrats, class 3B of Nakayama High School!" She spoke excitedly in a cutesy voice. "You are the lucky class this year to be chosen to play the game of Battle Royale! You are all on a small, uninhabited island about 10km around. The game will last three days, and each of you is given food, water, a map of the island, a compass, and a weapon to fight it out amongst yourselves. The weapons are random so what you get depends on your luck. In this game, you are to kill each other until only one of you remains. There will also be danger zones every few hours. Your teacher will announce them every six hours together with the death toll. Now, about the chokers on your necks."
The class moved their hands to their necks where a choker was fixed as the ironically cute woman used to introduce this deadly game continued, "These are waterproof, shockproof and permanent. They can monitor your pulse and every move, so if you are in a danger zone, we will know and can send shockwaves to it and 'Boom!' it explodes! If by the end of the game, more than one person is still alive, then all the remaining necklaces will also explode, so no one survives. Also, if you try to take of the choker, it'll explode as well, so promise not to try that, ok? Now, I'll call your names one by one, and you'll come out to receive your items. I hope to hear a big energetic 'Hai!" when it's your turn and let's all try our best in this game of survival."
The class was clearly frightened now as many of them gasped. At this point the teacher stopped the tape, "Are all of you clear?" Hoshino Chizuro, the prettiest and most high-class girl in the class, stepped out.
"What is it?" Minamoto asked.
"What is this game?" Chizuro demanded. "You are telling us to kill each other off in this stupid game. I refuse to play it! It's ridiculous!"
"You have no choice."
"Really?" Chizuro then lunged at Minamoto, and went hysterical. She then tried to run out of the room, but was restrained by the soldiers."
"You leave me no choice, Chizuro," Minamoto said coldly as he reached out for a remote control and pressed a button. The LCD display at the center of her choker started making a beeping noise as it blinked red. The soldiers then released their hold on Chizuro.
"What's happening?" Chizuro cried as she motioned towards her classmates for an answer. "Help me!" No one dared to move forward. Chizuro ran towards her classmates but was avoided out of fear. On the verge of tears, she turned towards her boyfriend, Kimura Yamato, crying out, "Help!" Yamato tried to move forward to help but was restrained by his friends. Finally, the choker gave one long beep until it suddenly exploded. It all happened in a second, and Chizuro then fell lifeless onto the floor, blood spouting slightly from her neck, staining the top half of her uniform.
~Girls, #4, Hoshino Chizuro dead, 41 to go~
Yamato rushed towards Chizuro's body, "Chizuro, Chizuro!" Realizing the hard truth, he fought in vain to keep his tears from flowing as he held on tightly to Chizuro's hand. His best friend, Kanazaki Junichi, and another classmate, Hamasaki Eriko, went to his side and consoled him.
The teacher smirked then went to continued the tape. "Boys, #1, Manno Keisuke," the kawaii girl now had a slightly serious tone in her voice. "Hai!" Keisuke replied calmly as he received his bag of items from the soldiers and left the classroom."
"Girls, #1, Imai Kyoko" "H-hai!"
""Boys, #2, Nonaka Soichiro" "Hai!".
"Boys, #5, Hanabishi Recca" "Yanagi, I'll wait for you outside," Recca whispered to her..
"Girls, #9, Fuyukawa Miyuki" The transfer student sitting on the table silently got up and somersaulted in the air to the doorway where she received her bag and walked out.
"Boys, #9, Aizawa Koichi" The other transfer student in his dark black uniform sauntered up coolly towards the soldier, taking his time. Minamoto smiled, "You better be careful of these two. From the way they 'act cool', you can tell they are dangerous.".
"Girls, #11, Oka Ayami" Ayami got up but Eriko held her back, "Be careful, no matter what happens, you will always be my friend." Ayami nodded her head before she left..
In a few minutes, the classroom was left empty with only the soldiers and Minamoto as the game started.
~Day 1, 0:30am, the game begins~

So, how's the story so far? This story, although has FoR characters, does not really focus much on them. Btw, showing Fuuko at the opening story is hinting something about of the end of the story. Try guessing what it hints and continue reading to confirm your guess. R&R pls!!! thx!!!
